Hillary was drying her hair while wearing an elegant white millionaire’s robe. She had taken a hot bath and felt as if her body had traveled back in time.

"I'm sorry I can't offer you better clothes, but no women live here," said Jack as he handed a maid’s uniform to Hillary.

"You're very kind to welcome me into your mansion after how badly I treated you, Jack," said Hillary with regret as she accepted the clothes.

"My home is your home," said Jack with a big smile.

"I want to apologize for all the times I rejected you, Jack. I only wanted to protect you from Ricco’s bodyguards."

"I never understood you, Hillary. You always fought with your mother for having sold you to Ricco, and for all those abuses, but then you always chose him, and even gave him four billion dollars," Jack said, trying to resolve a lingering doubt.

Hillary sighed deeply and then let out all the air in her lungs. It was time to explain a few things to Jack—after all, he deserved at least that much.

    Theo Walton arrived unexpectedly at the Stanton mansion, leading several of his henchmen."It's time to bring down the gate," he ordered.Theo's escorts carried thick chains with hooked ends, which they attached to the golden bars of the gate.Using the force of the trucks they arrived in, they tore down the gate as if it were the lid of a surprise box."Let’s go in."Theo’s orders were clear and precise. They had to capture Hillary and force her to confess Ricco's location. Theo knew they had discovered his microphone and were only talking to mislead him. However, he was much more cunning and planned to arrive by surprise to take them both. He was also convinced that they already knew where that bastard Ricco was hiding.Theo had with him the laptop that allowed him to track and listen to Hillary through the microphone hidden in the wedding ring. That’s how he could hear every word she said from inside the Stanton mansion and the main entrance.“No guards at the entrance,” the head o

    "Your mansion is very beautiful," said Hillary shyly as she sat at a table with Jack in the middle of the main hall."Do you like it? It’s called Walton Mansion 2.0," said Ricco before sitting down, holding an ice pack against his lip, swollen from Jack’s punch."That’s not true. It’s called Preston Mansion," Jack immediately corrected."Are you serious, man? You punch me and then you contradict me too?" complained Ricco, now seated across from them, still pressing the ice to his busted lip."You can’t change the official name of the mansion. Theo is looking for you—he wants to kill you," Hillary warned."Fantastic. One more problem to worry about," Ricco muttered as he leaned back in his chair."How the hell did you manage to spend four billion dollars in less than two months?" Jack asked, disappointed."Are you raising your voice at me?"Ricco stood up and finally removed the ice pack from his mouth."Let me remind you that you're no longer Ricco Walton. You're just a pathetic basta

    Jack immediately went into shock upon hearing the gunshot and seeing Hillary fall to the ground. It seemed as though time had slowed down, and she fell slowly, while all that blood floated in the air around her neck, and her hair moved from the force of the impact.Hillary hit the floor hard inside the Preston mansion, right in front of Jack and Ricco’s stunned eyes. Everything happened so fast that they didn’t even have time to move a muscle.Jack clearly saw how the system inside his head went insane, sending a flood of information at incredible speed.[ ALERT!USER ELIMINATION...WINNER: THEO WALTON.LOSER: HILLARY LOMBARDINI.TRANSFERRING POWER TO WINNER: 100%...TRANSFERRING SKILL TO WINNER: 100%...TRANSFERRING FUNDS TO WINNER: 100%... ]At that moment, Jack understood that if a user of the Absolute Millionaire System killed another user, they could obtain all the achievements of their victim.

    Alexandra Lemar was sitting on an elegant sofa in the main hall of the Walton mansion. The piece of furniture was white with pure gold details, perfectly matching the rest of the décor.Alexandra’s elegance was evident just by looking at her sitting there, wearing a short, pastel cream-colored dress that showed off her long, perfect legs as she sat sideways.—Boom!—The loud noise startled Alexandra, making her jump slightly from the shock. However, it was only Theo approaching her with a bottle of champagne in his hands. He had just popped the bottle and was also carrying a pair of empty glasses.Alexandra felt a great sense of relief upon realizing it was just a stupid cork, placing her hand over her chest and exhaling calmly. After spending the day watching Theo kill Hillary, she couldn’t feel completely at ease in the house of a murderer."Today is a perfect day to celebrate," Theo said as he poured the champagne into the two glasses."I don’t drink, thanks," Alexandra said, wrink

    Theo Walton turned on the drill and effortlessly managed to bore into the head of a mannequin with Ricco’s face taped to it. He was practicing on that plastic dummy before drilling into the real bastard’s brain. The drill bit left a perfect hole in the mannequin’s forehead—just as Theo had intended.“It’s perfect,” Theo said.“Can we start?” asked the head of security.“Immediately,” Theo Walton replied, and thus began the walk toward the room where the prisoners were being held.The smile on Theo’s face stretched from his left ear to his right. He felt immense satisfaction as he held the drill and walked down the dark hallway, escorted by his guards.However, his smile disappeared the moment he saw the door to the room smashed open. Jack had broken a huge hole in the wood to escape.Theo ran quickly, only to find Ricco’s corpse hanging from the wall with his skull crushed.It was a grim scene, but it didn’t shock Theo in the slightest.

    "Are you hungry? Would you like some dinner?" Pomi kindly asked Jack."Do you have food in this place?""Yes," Pomi replied, surprised by Jack’s astonishment.Pomi showed Jack the remains of some hot dogs, hamburgers, and slices of pizza he had picked out of the trash. That would be their dinner for the night, and he was generously willing to share it chivalrously with Jack."No, man. Uh... I’ll pass," Jack said with a nervous smile.He didn’t want to be rude, but he also didn’t want to eat trash, even if it meant hurting a homeless man’s feelings. He was sure he hadn’t fallen that low just yet."Great... more for me."Pomi sat down on his bed and began to eat eagerly, devouring all that food he had salvaged, while Jack felt his stomach churn with disgust."Have you been living here long?" Jack asked, warming himself by the fire and noticing that the cardboard under him didn’t feel so bad after all."I don’t know.""You don’t know?""I’ve lost count. Maybe twenty years, maybe two mont

    "I need a serious challenge with a significant reward in skill and power," said Jack as he walked down an abandoned road.He wore a black sweater and had the hood pulled up to cover his head. Now he needed to hide his identity from all the security cameras. He knew perfectly well that Theo Walton was hunting him down with all his bodyguards. So he had to be extremely careful."I'm willing to do whatever it takes. You can test me. I'm going to entertain you a lot. Want to laugh at your sick little games?

However, Lix was much faster and managed to hide it behind her back."I think the one who’s gone completely crazy is you. Besides, it can’t be deleted. It’s one of the terms and conditions you agree to when you download the app. Besides, who would want to delete a goldmine like this?" Lix said, feeling the euphoria rush through her veins."It could be a pirated app with a virus. The money might not even be real.

    Rex watched in horror as the news reported the death of an elderly man in a nursing home very close to where he lived. He was walking straight to Kloe’s house and took the opportunity to check his social media. Detective Brooks's name was trending, as he was an old-time hero being honored throughout the city.He put his phone in his pocket and got ready to jump over the wooden fence surrounding Kloe’s house. He climbed up and jumped, landing on the garden lawn while holding a bag in his hand. The bag was plastic and protected the clothes inside.He started looking for small rocks all over the garden and began throwing them at the second-floor window. That was the window to Kloe’s bedroom. So it didn’t take long for her to open it.“Rex?” whispered Kloe, trying not to let her parents hear her.“Are you masturbating?” joked Rex.“Shut up, you idiot! They’re going to hear you!”Rex mocked the movements of a woman masturbating and having an orgasm.“Stop being such an idiot and help me do

    Detective Stranger personally took Jack to an old house in the city center, a gift from the mayor so he could live out the few remaining years of his life in peace.“We're here! Home sweet home!” said Detective Stranger, pushing Jack’s wheelchair.“It’s... It’s... Beautiful,” said Jack in a tired, worn-out voice, as if he were suffocating.“It was an honor to meet such a famous person from 50 years ago. I wish you the best of luck,” said Detective Stranger kindly.Jack noticed that this man was truly kind. At last, a good man was holding the city's detective position. He was very different from Detective Brooks of 50 years ago.The city had changed a lot in those 50 years. There were many more buildings, and the cars were far more advanced and high-tech.

    “My father? What could you possibly know about my father?” Jack asked with suspicion.“Carl Stanton is the one who locked us in this place,” Josh confessed.“Just put that spoon down and let’s talk for a bit,” Bob requested.Jack finally felt curious about what those old men were saying. Clearly, they weren’t crazy as he had thought. They weren’t deranged killers like the media had made the world believe.He slowly lowered the spoon and decided to trust those three complete strangers he had never seen before.“Good heavens,” Aaron exclaimed.“I’m too old for this,” said Bob, placing a hand on his chest in relief.“Who are you? And how did you end up locked in this place?” Jack asked, eager to get to the bottom of the mystery.“We’ve got a lot to talk about, kid. We’d better head to the garden,” Josh said kindly.Jack agreed and left the bathroom with the three men, walking to the gardens to sit and talk calmly.“I’m glad you didn’t kill us,” Josh said as he sat down.“You wouldn’t hav

He was an overweight teenager in a foul mood, constantly showing his anger through arched eyebrows and a hateful stare.“Bath time,” said Dick, clearly annoyed.Dick hated his job, but he couldn’t quit. It was the only way to pay for his studies.“I could swear I heard you couldn’t walk,” Dick said when he saw Jack get out of bed on his own.Jack stood in the middle of the room, waiting for Dick to make a move to try to bathe him.Dick tried to grab Jack, but Jack quickly stepped aside. A slight turn was all it took to dodge the out-of-shape overweight teen.“Don’t move. I have to take you to the showers,” insisted Dick.“You and how many more?” Jack asked, speaking in a muffled voice through the muzzle that completely covered his mouth.Dick stepped back slightly to press his manual alarm.

    The electric shocks had caused a decline in Jack. They had made him submissive and less aggressive. Since he arrived he was receiving an electric attack every time he raised his voice. It caused him to stop fighting and now he just obeyed every order Dr. Helix gave him to avoid further suffering. "Sit down!" said Dr. Helix pointing to a gurney where he wanted Jack to sit. Detective Brooks entered the office to be present that morning for the daily therapy Jack was to face. Jack sat submissively and quietly while dressed in a blue clinical gown.
